"Anger is not enough"

Why can't I have the kind of anger that makes people take me seriously? The kind of anger that makes me break things and scream and appear big and dangerous? Why am I stuck with the kind of anger that makes my body itch, that makes me lose my breath and my eyes swell with tears?

Why can't it last? Why do I want it to be over so soon?

Thanks to my anger, I can reach impossible heights, but then the fall is so sudden and painful that it just leaves me desperate for the warm embrace that only this soil can give me.

Why does anger work for others but not for me?How can I make it work for me? What will it take for people to notice this pain when neither floods nor fires are enough?

What will it take you to listen to me when my battle-cry or my pleads for help go unheard? What will it take you to acknowledge my presence and to change the way things go?

What will it take you to respect me? How can I become the detail you won't be able to ignore anymore? When will I cease to be the thing you try to hide away from the rest of the world?

What kind of monstrous act of violence will I have to commit to please you- to get your attention?

...

How can I make you to fear me?

I think Tumblr ate my last one so here.

Tis your sign to ramble to thine hearts content

I've been saving these until I have thought about something in particular to ramble about so get ready,

I am obsessed with the vibe of the Wright's being born performers. Before choosing to pursue law, Phoenix was an art student, implied to either be pursuing illustration or Shakespearian theater. I like to think that part of the appeal of criminal law for him was how dramatized everything was. It's more about weaving a story that connects all the dots provided for the evidence and witness statements than about, you know, knowledge of the law. It's about plot twists and last-minute saves and becoming the sturdy pillar for your client. Phoenix only chooses cases that are so wacky and hopeless that make for excellent stories. What I'm saying is that Phoenix lives for the drama and how the courtroom turns into a stage where he has to convince everyone else of the story he's piecing together that very moment. There's just something so theatric about yelling 'objection' and slamming the desk and making some improvised quips to taunt the guy you're arguing against.

I'm also of the opinion that the whole Beanix persona was originally intended to be more of a character that Phoenix put up to get Kristoph to believe that he had given up. It's clear that it was all about hiding his true thoughts and his identity from anyone who would recognize his spikey hair and wiggly eyebrows. He deliberately stopped wearing his iconic blue and general business casual getup and you cannot tell me that there wasn't so much thought into how he started to present himself. He's known for being highly saturated and spikey and generally pretty emotionally open so this character he built is the exact opposite of all those things and it's totally on purpose.

And just like Trucy, this character performance is a coping mechanism to keep themselves safe and seemingly confident. They both smile so convincingly and refuse to let anyone know if something is wrong. They're both manipulative but not out of malice, out of need for survival. They've both been on the wrong side of public opinion and in some capacity are aware that they're in the crosshairs of someone incredibly dangerous. They can only try to keep each other safe by playing into the act that they've worked on for years.

So sure they have to hide their true feelings under a quirky guise, but also I think they would join a community theater and be so good at it. They're in musicals together, I think Phoenix can sing, and he can sing well. He was in all his school plays and got so good at projecting his voice that they didn't even need to give him a mic (me core). That's what made him so good at objecting. I think that the ace attorney stage plays should be canon in the aa universe and Phoenix should play himself and he gets Trucy to play Pearl. He accidentally has so much homoerotic tension with the guy who plays Edgeworth that the real Edgeworth gets jealous.

Phoenix should also know about a lot of technical stuff that comes with theater, so he does a lot of the setup for lights and audio for Trucy's magic shows, he helps her move props around and should be so involved because I think that would be fun.

I also think he should know enough magic that she sometimes incorporates him into the act around their friends, so she makes a card disappear and Phoenix pulls the same one out of Edgeworth's ear. I love it when they're concerningly in sync and they can basically read each other's minds. They stare at each other and have fully silent conversations.

I think I need to make this post because I'm too messy, and I can't find my own things, so ahem... if you want to be able to navigate this blog, here's what you have to know about me:

Hi ^w^! Steelthroat here, and that's my username on Ao3 I also go by the nickname of Zero. I use any pronouns with a preference for "it", and "they" and I'm an art student. Based in Italy, but my goal is to conquer the whole world, just wait ;3

[I don't have Twitter anymore, my profile is there but I don't have the app, so I won't accept followers, I won't post nor interact with anyone. It's nothing personal I just hate Twitter and its owner.]

I write fanfictions, which you can find under the tag #fanfiction of Steel

I draw things! #art of Steel, atm just tf fanarts, but I may also post some Ocs. I already said that, but I post nsfw art. If you don't like it, please be careful

Once I create the tag and tidy up my blog, you can also get your popcorn and watch me ramble incoherently about new fic ideas, crack ideas, and vague vents under the #Steel rambles tag

I guess I really like Steel, huh...

Anyone can interact unless I block you. The bar is low, like, for example: don't be an asshole, don't spew racist/homophobic/transphobic(etc) things, and don't start drama because you're bored under my posts. If you really don't like me, just block me and save time and effort, no hard feelings, I swear....I also don't like myself sometimes, you have the power to never see me again at least :)/j

I love knowing new people so you can write to me, send memes, asks, etc, and I'll always be happy to interact with you in one way or another

If you look like a bot, you will be blocked and reported. I'm sorry, please, at least like someone else's posts or have a bio. I really can't tell if you're human otherwise.

Well, new tags are surely going to get added... one day, I guess :)

I hope you have fun here ^w^

[New tags added #steel monologues, steel writing and #steel answers]

[Also I advise you to read my tags, there's like a whole world of context and subcontext every time I post something. I'm not saying they're entertaining, I'm saying that sometimes they explain wtf is going on/alternatively they make you even more confused]

I also made a tutorial on how to fix broken zippers here

Based on the most recent Patreon episodes, the Hotel podcast is like "what if we took Harrow's polycule of the most rancid, dumbass lesbians you ever met and made them WORSE?"

Naturally, Madam Hotel is Harrowhark in this equation.

Hey there! I have an audition for a community theatre production of “Steel Magnolias” next week and am going for the part of Truvy. I need to prepare a 1 minute monologue (could be comedic or dramatic). I’m in my mid 30s and am struggling to find one that isn’t doesn’t feel really overdone. I’d appreciate any recommendations you’ve got!

Hi there! I know that feeling. Steel Magnolias is such a great show, so my fingers are crossed for you. Since there tends to be an adage that if you can do comedy well, you can do drama I'm gonna recommend some comedic monologues (plus, everyone likes to laugh. If the team wants to see you do drama, they can call you back!)

Take a look at She from Sweet and Twenty, or Mona's monologue from Best Little Whorehouse in Texas would need to be cut, but Dolly Parton role for Dolly Parton role sounds appropriate (page 5 going into 6 of this pdf--it's 73 going into 74 of the script), and keeping with that logic, Doralee's monologue from 9 to 5 could be an interesting choice, too.

Break a leg!

True!

I think the worst thing help wanted 2 will be is nothing but fanservice, and the fact that ruin was all fanservice gives me. Little hope actually

Also playing the Pathless again and there's this beginning scene with the villain and the protagonist who is the last hunter to be sent to cleanse the world from darkness and it kind of reminds me of ARR Odtsetseg's and Lahabrea's dynamic. Cause let me tell you, she did NOT give the guy a chance to monologue much until maybe Praetorium. Cause it is an unskippable cutscene.
